    Kubo and the Two Strings

    By the box office take, I'd say not bloody likely. There is, but I can't get the page I heard the news on it to load properly. The news threw me as well, since James and the Giant Peach wasn't exactly a film that did well. Then again, the live action version of The Jungle Book probably made...

    When you need to RAVE!

    For the longest time I had a beef with the girl toy/boy toy Happy Meal split. Sure, they had some actually good girl toys from time to time. Recently a Powerpuff Girls one that had some legit figurines including Mojo Jojo. But for the longest time it always annoyed me that any time there was...

    Kubo and the Two Strings

    It strikes me sad that there's really no logical place for their movies. If they run them during the good months for these kinds of movies, they'd be clobbered by the bigger, mainstream kid's animated movies. If they run them during the quieter months, they can't scare up a good audience with...

    Cecil, you mean. Yeah, I remember by local Fox station rerunning Beany and Cecil Sunday mornings when I was younger. I was really into the show too. I think I was broken up that the ABC new series ended quickly. It's very much a product of the early 60's. Kinda has that early 1950's Mad...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    And we got this iteration's Scumbug and Antrax as well. Far more horrific to boot. One of the more grotesque mutants of this series, actually.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Seems that, despite the fact it was the name that Mikey gave the mutated version of April's father, Wingnut and Screwloose will appear on the TV show as the show runners intended. As a crazy duo of Batman and Robin parodies. A short clip of one of the turtles fighting Wingnut was used as part...

    Kubo and the Two Strings

    Saw it this weekend, and it's a beautiful film on every level. Depressing as crap, but still a beautiful film with a brilliant forgery of a Japanese Folktale of a story. It's a real shame this isn't getting the viewership in its debut that a movie everyone claims to hate oh so much in its...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    You would never want me as leader. Trust me. I have a big long rant I've been storing up, but I'm saving that for another day. Suffice to say, I have a large problem with the false equivalency here. Drump's basically running on the concept of just regurgitating old right wing talking...

    Biff and Sully appreciation thread

    Cookie and Grover are still very much active members of the show, and both still have their own segments. Cookie even has a new segment, replacing the Crumby Pictures series with Cookie as a spy working with sentient cookies. It's the likes of Telly that are getting far less screen time. As...

    Sesame Street Season 46 begins on PBS Monday September 12, 2016

    I'm quite pleased with the fact that the PBS run is in a different order than the episode order of HBO. There was no need to do that, they could have kept a good 9 months in between episodes aired like the intent of the rest of the series, but they went in a more randomized order that at least...

    The wild thing is, this show predated Muppet Babies for a couple decades to be the first cartoon series based on a puppet show. Back in the 50's, puppet shows were the surrogate cartoon program. As that Sam Singer thing can attest to. Beany and Cecil is based off the puppet series Time for...

    Sesame Street Episode 4635 ("Snazzy Society") missing from HBO's schedule

    Oddly, zap2it's listing gave this episode a "finale" tag.

    Animation Conversation

    I like how the early cartoons to premiere exclusively on television were supposedly all like this. Sometimes they weren't even animated drawings. And you can kind of forgive early television. It really didn't know where it was going, things had to be produced cheap. There was a lot of really...

    Cartoons Nowadays Aren't as Good as They Used To Be

    I do agree there's a lack of action cartoons. Though I don't see why everyone hates the Marvel cartoons so much. Sure, Ultimate Spider-Man is a let down after Spectacular, but I remember 90's Spider-Man cartoon fans whining about the show before it even premiered and whined louder when the the...

    Your Schooltime Experiences

    You know how everyone whines about the "everyone gets a trophy" thing that like I'm guessing three schools nationwide actually did? I find my experiences to be from the other end of the spectrum. I like to call it, everyone gets a trophy but you. I have very depressing memories of screwing up...

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    I'll believe you for the fact that commercial is oppressive. Just...ugh... so 1989-1992, that thing is. I couldn't even watch that the whole way through because it's so freaking obnoxious, I almost turned into The Hulk...or a Super Saiyan...or something. Something that would have made me...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    Regular Show was on for 8 seasons. That's 7 more seasons than what Green Lantern or Beware the Batman got. And at least they didn't go around as sneaky as they did with Uncle Grandpa saying that they renewed it, but then revealing they had enough episodes to split up into 2 seasons and canned...
